    Garcia and Khan are the 2 most overrated 140/147 fighters in years

    As long as the Mayweather fight is a possibility then Brook will be frozen out.

    Its a percentages games.

    This is just years of amir saying oh do this and i'll fight you kell... kell does it and then he gives another reason why it can't happen. I understand Him chasing mayweather but he's been chasing him years now, just give it up and actually prove your worthy of the shot by beating a top WELTERWEIGHT thurman brook porter pacquiao.

    The interview with oscar sums it up perfectly, its clear khan isn't afraid but it's just as clear his team won't take risks.

    This isn't rocket science at all. If Khan fights Floyd he will make much more money and a loss wouldn't hurt him nearly as much and the Brook fight will still be on. Khan fights Brook he will make much less money and a loss will hurt him much more, it may even be the end of his career at top level.

    I agree with all but making "much less money" fighting Brook. I don't think there will be all that much difference.

    A loss to Brook ends Khan's career effectively though.. so he's holding off. It's a really tough fight for both but especially Khan.

    So basically once he cherry picks his way through every non puncher known to man. Cause once Floyd retires Khan will move on to calling out Pacquiao at every opportunity.

    Won't risk losing out on that fight either.

    Brooks practically doing the same thing as Khan but worse. Brooks fighting bum after bum until he gets the Khan fight or now possibly Mayweather aswell apparently.

    You can't criticize Khan but defend Brook in the same breath.

    Brook did the same thing to get his title aswell. Not only that I personally believe he was hoping Devon would vacate but when he didn't he got "injured". He really had no choice other than to fight Porter and was lucky to have got the win.
